The daffodils have bloomed and faded, the blossoming trees are turning green with leaves, and now all of a sudden we are in for another major winter storm. The poor birds must be very confused! This morning I'm sharing with Eileen's Saturday Critters party.
This week again new birds have almost taken over the feeders...I enjoy my new favorite simple pleasure so much... and I am learning so much myself... Differentiating between such similar critters is great fun! Our newest visitors are the chipping sparrows.
These smaller birds are recognized by their white undersides and double white bars on their wings.
Another very frequent pair of visitors were this couple of rose finches..
Sometimes solo
or sometimes alongside friends like this titmouse
But mainly, their supped together as a pair!
I loved this lovely bluebird couple to stopped in for a drink and a bath!
They actually gave Mr. Robin the same idea!
I fear I am at a loss to id this cute black throated fellow.. Any ides??
This next week I am determined to capture on my camera what appeared to be a beautiful yellow orchard oriole. He was spotted for just a second and was gone!

A wonderful collection of birds. Some people don't appreciate sparrows, but I like them. I am only recently discovering how many varieties there are. Enjoyed the videos. Love hearing the birds sing.
ReplyDeleteHello, I love the cute Chipping Sparrows. I noticed them arriving last weekend. You have a nice variety of birds. I miss seeing the Purple Finches, I do see the House Finches here. Great post and photos. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Thanks for the comment too. Happy Saturday, enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteThe chipping sparrow always makes me think of an old man wearing a hair piece! Thanks for including the videos ... our Spring is slow in coming and I am enjoying your birdsong since we don't have much yet!
